Your sweet and shiny eyes Are like the stars above Laredo Like meat and potatoes To me In my sweet dreams we are In a bar And it's my birthday Drinking salty marguaritas with Fernando Young and wild We drove 900 miles of Texas highway To the Mexican border As the day was comin' on We crossed the Rio Grande River And we swore we'd have things our way When we happened to walk in to Nuevo Leon Your sweet and shiny eyes Are like the stars above Laredo Like meat and potatoes To me In my sweet dreams we are In a bar And it's my birthday And we're having our picture taken With Fernando Home Plate 1975
